The nature of a particle orbit in an electrostatic plasma wave is modified by a magnetostatic field, because there exists a set of resonant parallel velocities (ω+lΩ)kz. If the wave amplitude Φ0 is sufficiently large, neighboring resonant regions overlap, and the particle motion becomes stochastic; the threshold condition is kz2(em)Φ0|Jl(k⊥ρ)|~Ω216. As an application, a weakly damped intermediate-frequency ion-acoustic wave may be used to heat the tail of an ion distribution.
